Did you know that in traditional numerology, two-digit numbers are usually reduced to a single digit for more in-depth analysis?
This is simply because multi-digits are assumed to have energetic powers from the single-digit numbers that they are made from. However, this is not the case with some master numbers like 11, 22, 33, and 44. Some may ask why these numbers are so different. This is because these four numbers are said to carry different energies of their own.
In this article, we will be discussing the number 22. This special master number is usually associated with the Master Builder and its vibration. This simply means the number is known to turn your wildest dreams into reality. This number is very special when it appears on a numerology chart, but in our everyday life, it is just another number.
It is usually depicted as 22/4. So, when this number does not surface in the Soul or Destiny areas of the numerology chart or in the Life Path, it becomes a number that is associated with deriving its energy from the single-digit number it was made from.
In the case of number 22, the energy associated with it is derived from root numbers 2 and 4. The number 2 is strongly associated with partnership and cooperation, bringing a feeling of camaraderie and teamwork to anywhere it finds itself, while the number 4 is mostly associated with problems concerning material and work life.
When the number 22/4 is analyzed, it is seen to have twice the amount of energy of the number 2, meaning it has more passivity, cooperation, and drive. The number 4 also adds its special traits of pragmatism, ambition, discipline, and great abilities to the fold. So, when these two numbers combine together, the number 22/4 is known to be highly skilled, pragmatic, cooperative, and contain a lot of potentials.
The Tarot card associated with the number 22 is the Fool card. This may look like a contradiction in the beginning until you dive deeper into the symbolism and significance of the card, and you will be surprised that it is seen as a symbol of spiritual fulfillment. This card is so special that it goes unnumbered or may be given the number zero in the Tarot deck. Now, let us take a deeper look into what The Fool represents in the Tarot card and how it is associated with the number 22.
So, as a number zero or null card, The Fool is said to be outside the normal spiritual progression. In fact, everything spiritual seems to be happening inside of the card and not around it.
Have you heard of the archetype “The Wise Fool”? It is said that this archetype is almost as old as time itself. The Tarot deck shows the constant evolution of the fool as he moves through all the spiritual and symbolic archetypes on the path to reaching the apex of spiritual attainment. The Fool is represented by an image of a young man standing on a ledge but with his eyes fixed on the skies above him. The inner interpretation, according to experts, is the young man may be seeing the vastness of the skies and the heavens above him, but he is not afraid to venture into the unknown because he seems to have mastered his inner being and space. So, this is a great symbol of mastery of one’s self.
This master number 22 is seen as a potential and not a prophecy, and when it appears on someone’s numerology chart that is a sign that the person is marked for great things and high spiritual attainment. However, not everybody reaches that high level of spirituality or masters the whole energy that comes with the number 22, so they sometimes fall to the level of the number 4. This is not a minus for the individual, as the potential for greatness will always be there.
With great power comes great responsibility, at least that’s what they say, and it is no different for the number 22. In fact, the energies are so high that in most cases, these potentials remain at the number 4 level till adulthood. This also means that the number 22 may be attracted to materialistic values and pursuits in the earlier stages of their life, and they start the journey to spiritual fulfillment when they come of age.
The number 22 is generally associated with love, optimism, and a message of peace. But since the idealism of love is sometimes watered down by the pragmatic drive from number 4, they may never be truly realistic or fair. However, it does not take away the potential for greatness embedded in the number 22. Some of their endearing characteristics are their love for nature and humanity, their endless abilities, and the ability to attain spiritual heights only a few can attain. They have this unique gift of making meaningful and realistic outcomes in whatever they do.
Some say the number 22 can appear as karmic, and when they do, they do so with a generally high level of optimism and positivity. So, the number 22 is heavily entangled with things of an enlightened soul. There is, however, one very unique disadvantage of the number 22; most of them never truly live up to the endless potentials they were born with.
Due to their highly positive vibes, most of them thrive as capable leaders, great achievers, master architects, great accomplishers, and tireless workers. They may also be aimless in their search for spiritual attainment, big talkers, and even fanatics.
They are always faced with the challenges of having to fulfill their true potentials, and that is a big burden to bear, and the fear of failure may turn them from the adoring and loving creatures we know into insensitive, dictatorial, and overbearing creatures.
Conclusion:
So, this special number is often filled with mixed feelings and emotions. The good thing is their positive values always tend to outweigh the negative ones, so the number 22 should be treated with a type of care that should be given to special people because they are truly special.
